In short

How can I automatically track which clients still need to take their required minimum distributions?

WebRun reviews RightCapital every Monday to identify clients with required minimum distribution obligations for the year, checks whether each has been satisfied, and posts advisors a Slack alert with outstanding amounts and deadlines. It also updates a Google Sheets tracker so the whole planning team has a live view of RMD status.

  • No client faces an IRS penalty from a missed RMD
  • Advisors have a live weekly tracker without manual spreadsheet updates
  • At-risk clients surface automatically 60 days before the December deadline

Questions, answered

Does WebRun initiate the actual distribution from the account?

No. WebRun only tracks and alerts. All distributions are initiated by the advisor or client through the custodian. WebRun never touches account funds or submits withdrawal requests.

How accurate is the RMD calculation?

WebRun reads the RMD estimate already calculated in RightCapital, which advisors have set up. It does not recalculate; it flags clients where the plan shows a distribution obligation that has not yet been recorded as satisfied.

What if a client completed their RMD outside of RightCapital?

Advisors should update the distribution status in RightCapital after it occurs. WebRun reads the live data each Monday, so once the record is updated, that client is removed from the alert list automatically.
